How to properly record sales transaction

When submitting "# of Sales Transactions" in your sales journal, it is important to understand that this figure is not units sold.  The sales transactions represent the number of purchase orders fulfilled. 

For example, a sale to a member for $21,383 for 26 units would be ONE transaction. If they needed an additional 50 units later in the same quarter, and didn't include them in the first order, that would be considered another (or a separate) transaction because each transaction was placed on a different purchase order.  When reporting these sales, you would list these as TWO individual records on your sales report and indicate ONE transaction on both records.
